O.K., trashy. Even though I wasn't referring to you in the first place. You know, I guess you guys have a point about hazing, and maybe I should just learn to not get so pissed off. And then the world will be a better place, and everyone will be happy.

uh, no; that's just my wacky sense of humor. I use it not to cover the fact that I'm in a crappy band, but to allay any fears that you all might have that my penis is incredibly, incredibly tiny. Which of course you all know it is not because my wacky sense of humor proves it.

Fuck you, Sissy. Wanna fight? Here, I'll make a generalisation, and you can rip me to pieces:

An Sm-57 will always sound "acceptable" but never GOOD on anything.
I cannot for the life of me see why anyone ever uses one for anything.
Okay, I understand that a lot of people "like" it (actually i think they use it wothout thinking about it becasue they heard others do) on snare drums. But it's a mic that can sound truly poopy and 'nothing' on MANY things.

OK, GO!

Don't go there digdug, I'm verty emotional right now. Besides, Steve Albini HATES SM57s. You may now genuflect in my magnificent presence.

An SM57 will only ever sound good if the signal is recorded to analog tape with no edits, plug-ins, beat detective or pitch correction, because all those things are ruining music.
